It is the newer chipsets based around the AM2 platform that are sketchy (I know it is only anecdotal, but I have yet to have a good Linux experience with either the nVidia or ATI AM2 chipsets, though if you have to choose, the nVidia one seems to have mostly settled down). It sucks that non-hardware geeks have to pay attention to the chipsets these days. You would think that those days were in the past by now. For anyone else looking to purchase hardware, I have recently gone back to the Intel camp. Their stuff seems to just work under Linux. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIvgTywRXgH3rKGfMRAu8XAJ0b5HXi6zI2HsW4ouTj95W6j9AODwCfarps 4hH1yYPBMkwSFw5R4A0brSM= =RhUX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
